I was not aware that any doctor would give that much orally.
The oxy base dose is one 20 mg time release pill. This much will affect your reactions somewhat and makes you a bit goofy at first. The pill comes in sizes up to 50-60mg if I recall.
BTW, this stuff is not for really bad a deep pain, it gets through. You go to morphine for that. They make an oral version called Oramorph. The dose is similar to OxyContin.I used it for a while, but there is noway anyone could tolerate 900 mgs unless they had been on it for many years.
BTW, the addiction problem is irritating but you can break it on your own.

Hmmmm? A 500 mg capsule - is just one capsule. 100 capsules is a whole different ballgame.
